Title: How to Shoot a Feature Film for Under $10,000 (And Not Go to Jail) by Bret Stern ISBN: 0-06-008467-7 Publisher: HarperResource Pub. Date: September, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $14.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 (5 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: A great read-even if you don't want to make movies!
Comment: This book was wonderful! I purchased it at the same time as "What They Don't Teach You at Film School" by Camille Landau and Tiare White. I'd really recommend that you get both of them. This one has more information, and was more fun to read, but the other gives you a more serious approach to making a movie.
If you only have money for one or the other, however, go with this one! There's some really great information in here. If you judge this book by its cover, then you'll probably make the mistake of thinking that it's for those kids next door who want to make a prequel to Clerks. It might work for them, but it also loads of valuable stuff that will make you sound a lot more experienced most people you know who think that they know what making movies is all about. Check out Bret's credentials on imdb.com, too.

Summary: Not a Can't-Make-Money-In-Business-So-Will-Write-Book book
Comment: For those not interested in film, this is a good purchase for the humor quality if nothing else. But hey! You're supposed to be taking notes youngins, this is an informative book, not glossed-over half-hearted duty work. I do mean informative - for those wanting a sense of the industry and film-making processes without textbooks/one-on-one instruction/film school, here is a great overview and inspiration at the same time, covering every detail from film formats to exploiting Sears' return policy.
The only hazard I found was the author's gender bias; female readers be prepared to have "your girlfriend" referred to often, and to skim over advice about not using direct lighting on girls' faces, etc.
Yet also be prepared for a treat in the how-to publishing world: an author who has genuine knowledge to share, who doesn't refrain from enumerating the specifics (or so I think...), and who doesn't seem like the type who would need to be writing for money.
Rating: 5
Summary: Darn it, that's some good readin.
Comment: Tons of helpful advice delivered in a uniquely informative/hilarious style that I have never ever encountered before. What else can I say, somebody give this man $10,000 dollars, he's absolutely delightful. I wish all writers could shun formulaic grammatical conventions the way Bret Stern does, he turns this tired genre on its buttocks, and in doing so, etches out his own place in the hall of fame for underappreciated no budget filmmakers.
